I have some oval and straight pieces of Bass wood with the bark on the edges.Is there a way to carve on these pieces.I have been using them for scroll sawing and woodburning.Also,a friend gave me some oval pine plaques that he got from Hobby Lobby that have the edges routed.Is there a way to put these in the machine and carve on them?
Thanks for any information.This is really a great forum with really great and helpfull people.
Thanks again.

You would have to build a sled to do a project like that.

No..not a sled but would have to use a board under it...look at this post on CompuCarveWright forum for how it has been done.
